While keeping a food journal might require a bit of diligence, our patients continually relate that it is a tremendously helpful tool in their journey to health. Food journals can help pinpoint specific foods that may be causing symptoms such as bloating or poor sleep. The journals also help patients become more aware when making daily food choices and stay accountable for what’s included on their nourishing dinner plates.
When changing ones diet for the better this often means cutting out some of the foods that may have been staples in the past. But there is good news! Once you go grain free, enjoying a delicious treat at breakfast doesn’t have to be a thing of the past.
